Welcome To La Tigre

(album: Paintings Of The Soul - 1992)

Giovanni he got fixed in a minute
Woe he never got smart; Tina started fooling around
Race didn't have nothing to do with it
She loved who he loved; she started fooling around
He said, wait by the gate, I won't be a minute
Whatsoever you do, please don't call no names
Giovanni don't mean nothing 'bout here
The policemen just came to say to him La Tigre

If he should say halt, just say La Tigre
If he should say 'gainst the wall, just say La Tigre
Yeah, don't call out my name, just say La Tigre
He'll put a smile on your face, just say La Tigre

Welcome to La Tigre
We all deal in double entendre
We're all going down the sewer tonight
This ain't like going to Baltimore

Steel on the outside and looking in
Tina's name was plastered on the wall
The police john crow he now was making a play
Drawing lines on the ground and shouting, have a ball

Seems at last she's gonna feel some vibration
There's Giovanni standing by a door
Wrapped all around the D J man
Shouting it out, come on and join the floor

He said to move with the crow, she said La Tigre
He said, go on baby, go; she said La Tigre
This ain't no time to stall; she said La Tigre
He said baby this night won't fall, she said La Tigre

Welcome to La Tigre
We all deal in double entendre
We're talking serious rapping

Oh welcome to La Tigre
We all talking double entendre
We all going up the shoot tonight
Pay up your money and take your lesson

Welcome to La Tigre
Ooh don't figure on staying too long
Welcome to La Tigre
You're still a young tinhorn
Welcome to La Tigre
You know we deal in double entendre
Welcome to La Tigre
We endeavour to change the world
Welcome to La Tigre
Oh yeah, La Tigre
